An Earth Poem And Other Poems PDF Download

Excerpt from An Earth Poem, and Other Poems Here is a book that seems to me to have touches of the wild beauty which we have all agreed to call poetic genius. The strict craftsman will perhaps find blemishes and obscurities in the structure of these poems; but he will also find those rarities of thought and feeling that will be a delight. There is a rift of genius in this ledge of song; and genius is so rare and precious a thing that, wherever found, it should call out gratitude and not grumbling. In "An Earth Poem," Gerda Dalliba sets forth in lyric beat her passionate thoughts about man and his long eons of evolution. Here life is touched in its vaster origins and issues. In the first part ("Children of Sod") man is seen in his mere sense-hunger and earth-wrestle. In the second part ("Children of Air") man begins to wonder over life and to send his restless heart across the stars. But in the last part ("Children of Sun") man dreams of the long purpose of God and fares forth in daring ad ventures of the Spirit. It is a strange poem that voices the unceasing flux of life.
